    I met some people from India a few days ago who were here on vacation. I mentioned boxing and they immediately wanted to talk my head off about Amir Khan and how great he is and how Mayweather avoided him, etc. Everyone I’ve ever met from India or Pakistan (which to be honest is probably less than 15 people) have all seemed obsessed with Khan...almost to the point it kind of creeped me out a little.

    If by "biggest" you mean the fighters that even the casualest of casual fans know and talk about, then Pacquiao, Canelo and (in the UK at least) Joshua. Not many casuals seem to know about Lomachenko. Mayweather is still talked about a lot t-

    Oops, didn't see you mentioned him. Yeah, it's definitely Selby.

    Khan has the "Magic Man" Paulie Malignaggi on his resume while Pac and Floyd ducked the Magic Man.

    To a worldwide audience in term of notoriety its;

    Pac
    AJ
    Canelo

    From a commercial standpoint it’s

    AJ
    Canelo
    Pac

    From a North American standpoint it’s
    Canelo
    Pac
    AJ

    Canelo is a major star and in the biggest market but if we’re looking at revenues generated and the worldwide endorsements etc in place then it’s AJ.
